Men’s Caps Ridge Waterproof Motion Jacket
Man, the nostalgia hits hard every time I hear the word “Timberland”. For us 90’s kids, it’s perhaps a double whammy of memories. First up, the iconic producer lending those smooth backup vocals on Alliyah’s Are You That Somebody? “Dirty South, Can y’all really feel me? East Coast feel me. West Coast feel me”. If you know you know.
And then, of course, those classic brown boots that every middle and high school guy just had to rock to be considered stylish. I’m pretty sure I sported some knockoff versions back in the day, but man, that visual image of the actual Timberland version is etched in my mind forever.
Looks:
Speaking of Stylish – the Waterproof Motion Jacket by Timberland? It’s easily the coolest jacket in my collection.
Sure, I’ve got some high-tech running gear and a few sharp-looking options for chilly weather, but this one takes the cake for modern hipness. It’s got that unique blend of street-style vibes, and that Wheat Boot & Light Wheat Boot color block? It’s like a nod to those iconic boots I mentioned earlier. Seriously, if past-me from the early 2000s could see me rocking this now, he’d be impressed!
But let me tell you, this jacket isn’t just about appearances – it’s all about the details and construction, making it an ideal match for our typical PNW weather.
Construction:
Let’s break down what makes this Waterproof Motion Jacket truly stand out.
Crafted entirely from 100% recycled polyester, not only is it environmentally friendly, but it’s also nice to see sustainability in play. But this jacket isn’t just about being green; it’s about being tough against the elements. Thanks to its innovative 3L waterproof fabric and DryVent technology, it’s like wearing a shield against rain and wind, while still allowing your skin to breathe.
The ergonomic sleeves ensure you can move freely without any restrictions and the adjustable hood, with its cordlock feature, allows you to cinch it tight for extra protection or loosen it up when the sun decides to make an appearance. And for those chilly days, the neoprene chin guard keeps you cozy without sacrificing style.
Added zipped underarm vents are a very nice addition. Waterproof rain jackets can get muggy inside, but these vents work to let in just the right amount of air to keep you feeling fresh.
It’s not the lightest jacket out there (though it holds its own pretty well, all things considered), and it’s not exactly designed for sprinting through the trails. But let me tell you, when it comes to facing off against Mother Nature, this jacket is as tough as they come.
Conclusion:
Living here in the PNW, we know a thing or two about unpredictable weather, and having something reliable like this in your closet is an absolute must. So, whether you’re hiking up a muddy trail or just braving a rainy day in the city, this jacket has got you covered – quite literally.
